As video-sharing sites such as YouTube are gaining popularity all over the world, the `.tv’ domain is drawing more attention.

[D]ozens of home-grown video-sharing and Internet broadcasting sites...are using the ``.tv’’ domain as it is easily related to television or video.

According to Verisign, the operator of the `.tv’ domain, about 70 percent of its users wanted to extend their contracts, which is significantly higher than 60 percent of `.com’ users or 10 percent of `.net’ owners.

A total of 1,460 new `.tv’ domains were registered between January and July this year, up from 483 registrations in the same period last year.
